Coming soon: Stars in My Eyes, a heartwarming love story between a dazzling dancer and a cultured, gentle businessman.
Blurb:
A brave girl who pretends to be meek and vulnerable x a cool, affection-starved young master of a prince's manor
The Tao family of the General's Manor had earned great military merit, making the new emperor wary of them. At the emperor's tacit suggestion, the family intended to arrange a marriage with a declining princely household in the capital. The obscure second son of the manor became the ideal choice.
On their wedding day, Tao Yuanyin and Wei Lingjian met for the first time. One felt joy in her heart, while the other began to harbor doubts.
Open shops, help the poor, make a fortune!
Wei Lingjian, the neglected son of the princely household, had nevertheless earned the emperor's favor. After years of traveling and gathering inspiration, he decided to let go of his old prejudices and make a fresh start with his wife, working together to build a life.
But she was caught between family affection and romantic love, unable to choose.
After years of lowering her head and yielding at every turn, Tao Yuanyin discovered a secret one day. She could no longer keep trying to please everyone. Instead, she turned her attention to helping the destitute with her close friend, and looked for a chance to leave.
From a woman confined to the inner chambers to stepping beyond the manor and building a career of her own, she eventually won the favor she sought and headed for the battlefield, taking on the heavy burden of protecting her homeland on her small shoulders.
Wei Lingjian followed her all the way to the border. The woman at the center of his heart stood in armor, a red-tasseled spear in hand, leaving him stunned. He had never known she was a goddess who protected the world. But he had lost his chance to get close to her, and could only turn away in dismay.
